VP of Product

Bedrock Talent • New York City, NY

1d • $200,000 - $225,000

About The Position

Bedrock Talent is partnering with an early-stage healthcare technology company that is building the execution layer for healthcare operations. Their platform assists accountable care organizations, health networks, and risk-bearing provider groups in transforming fragmented claims and clinical data into actionable daily workflows. This involves identifying practices needing attention, patients requiring outreach, addressing care gaps, and measuring intervention impact. The company's connected workflow products support various value-based care operations, with AI agents used by both the internal engineering team and customers for data exploration, analysis, and validation. The company is venture-backed, has secured a seven-figure enterprise contract, and has demonstrated measurable improvements in preventive care delivery, risk capture, and financial performance.

This role is for the company's first VP of Product, who will lead the effort to identify underlying problems and design flexible products that can serve a broader market beyond specific customer requests. The VP of Product will partner closely with the CEO, taking significant product ownership and bringing well-developed recommendations. Initially, the role will focus on one or two product areas, expanding scope as they become independent. The company operates in short, iterative cycles (one to two weeks) and values building impactful solutions over rigid roadmaps. The focus is on leading product strategy and discovery, not just process management.

Requirements

• Approximately 8–10 years of product experience, including ownership of an enterprise product area from strategy through launch and adoption.
• Taken at least one meaningful product from concept to market.
• Experience with government-sponsored healthcare programs such as Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, MSSP, ACO REACH, Stars, or risk adjustment from the payer or provider side.
• Successfully translated numerous customer-specific requests into a scalable product that serves a broader market.
• Ability to lead working sessions with operators, analysts, clinicians, and executives.
• Ability to redirect a customer toward a stronger solution—even when it differs from what they initially requested—without damaging the relationship.
• Ability to engage deeply with engineers on data models, technical tradeoffs, and product architecture.
• Already use AI tools for prototyping, analysis, and writing.
• Ability to read SQL and work directly with data.
• Experience in an early-stage or high-growth startup, ideally between the seed and Series B stages.
• Comfortable partnering closely with a highly involved, product-oriented founder.

Nice To Haves

• You do not need to have spent your entire career in value-based care, but you understand the stakeholders, incentives, and operational complexity involved.
• You do not need to have been an engineer.

Responsibilities

• Own discovery, scoping, prioritization, acceptance, launch, and adoption for the product areas you lead.
• Run recurring working sessions with customer teams across coding, quality, care management, analytics, and practice performance.
• Identify what customers are truly trying to accomplish—not simply what they initially request.
• Determine whether a customer need can be addressed through an existing configurable capability, requires refinement, or warrants a new product build.
• Ensure new capabilities are designed to serve multiple customers rather than becoming one-off custom solutions.
• Translate every customer commitment into a clearly scoped ticket with an owner and current status.
• Return to customers for additional context when requirements are unclear so engineers receive work that is ready to build.
• Establish engineering priorities for your product areas in close consultation with the CEO.
• Use AI tools to prototype ideas and test them with customers before committing significant engineering resources.
• Track product usage and adoption, then improve or retire features that are not delivering value.
• Support the sales process by scoping solutions, leading product demonstrations, and incorporating prospective customer feedback into the product strategy.

Benefits

• Base salary of $200,000–$225,000
• Meaningful early-employee equity with a four-year vesting schedule and one-year cliff
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k)
• Additional benefits and paid time off
